Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 108

Your on-premises hosted application uses Oracle database server. Your database administrator must have access to the database server for managing the application. Your database server is sized for seasonal peak workloads, which results in high licensing costs. You want to move your application to Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure (OCI) to take advantage of CPU scaling options.
Which database offering on OCI would you select?

Answer options

• A. bare metal DB systems
• B. VM DB systems
• C. Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP)
• D. Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, bare metal DB systems, as they provide dedicated resources and high performance, suitable for managing high workloads without the overhead of virtualization. Options B, C, and D, while they have their own advantages, do not offer the same level of resource control and performance that bare metal systems provide, especially for applications with significant seasonal peak demands.
